Battery Disconnection

Unplug all cables and completely power off your phone.

With the back cover facing up, use a T3 Torx screwdriver to turn the screw in the bottom edge counterclockwise until the back cover pops up.

There's a seam just under the back cover panel. Don't insert your tool here.

Insert your tool completely under the back cover, so it's between the frame and the underside of the back cover.

Insert an opening pick under the bottom left corner of the back cover and slide it along the bottom edge to release the clips and separate the adhesive.

Continue sliding the pick under the perimeter of the back cover to fully separate the clips and adhesive.

Lift and remove the back cover.

Now is a good time to test your phone before sealing it up. Power it on and check that it works. Power it back down before you continue reassembly.

Make sure you remove all liners from the underside.

Use the flat end of a spudger to press the small cable above the wireless charging coil into place over its alignment posts.

Rotate the bottom screw clockwise to ensure a proper fit.

Place the back cover onto the frame and firmly squeeze around the perimeter to reengage all the clips.

Use a T3 Torx screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the battery connector cover.

Gently flip the graphite sheet on the battery over the top edge of your phone.

Insert the point of a spudger in the notch on the left edge of the battery connector cover and pry up to release its clips.

Remove the cover.

Insert the tip of an opening pick under the top edge of the battery press connector and pry up to disconnect it.

Check if the rear camera press connector got disconnected during the previous step. If it did, reconnect it.
